I also decide to release another upgrade this time for the default FSX747?


Starting by removing the LCD main screen gauges ,and putting another one much more realistic as the real 747 has in real life

the 747 does not have open close pilot windows as in real life but it will have the rain texture windshield wiper effects and GPWS too

I have had my hard time fixing some the old gauges

these are some of the new features



I was a little bit inspired by a payware which I'm not going to mention I'm trying to make most of the switches and buttons of the upper head panel to how ever making some of them are quite hard ,example the "Hydraulic demand buttons which are not shown in all Flight simulator variable codes and I don't know what to do in this case

  I don't need to hear about the payware ,all I can say I'm making a freeware that its more friendly to lower PC system ,the purpose of this cockpit its to improve the old Useless 747 VC

Looks awesome Alex. I know we'd all appreciate your hard work in an upgraded 747 'pit! 

I personally don't fly heavies but I do fly regionals like your 737 and MD-83 sometimes.
I think it will be amazing!

:-/ thank you both xfalcon and jetprop ,I was about to delete this thread because the lack of feedback

That 747 pit from MS is one of their more underdeveloped cockpits. It'll be awesome to have a more comprehensive cockpit for the 747. I can't wait to finally be able to use the overhead panel in the ol' 747! Lookin good Alex!

Sorry Alex I forgot to reply to your PM.

Great idea by the way.

I need TUBES fans (Large commercial airplanes) as a betatestings (you are already included Andy) but also I need those fans who knows a little bit of these to test some of the features

please those who knows a little bit of this and are interest to test this cockpit send me a PM

I wonder ...where is Stephane? (daube) :-/

Hi Alejandro,

I'm there, but you know I almost never check this section of the forum 
Got your PM, I'll send you some feedback in the evening (french time).

I love the features you mention in the pictures. If you need a beta tester i can help if you want. I have a question: Can you make inside views o passenger area's with tv's and seats the can move and that kind of stuff. I usually get a bit bored when i'm on a autopilot flight!

That'd be a bit much I think,cabins are realy hard things to make!

Realy?
Well,then again,a pyramid is complicated for me.

Nice to know that it gives you slow FPS, i don't have the best PC ever so i rather use a beautiful VC with good FPS then a nice VC and a cabin and bad FPS!! 

Hi again Alejandro,

I made the first tests of the cockpit. Things went relatively well I have to say, but I'll need more time to do more tests. So far, the only issues I have spotted are:
- the APU makes no noise, there is no way to tell if it's running or not ? (no light, no indication...)
- the left wiper texture looks strange, the right one looks good.
- the hydrolic switches (hyd and hyd demand) are functionnal, but I have no idea what they are supposed to do
- if the default flight has mixture set to zero, the engines won't start (engine starter will spin forever but engines won't start until CTRL+F4 is pressed).
- the taxi lights are not visible on the external model
- the NAV lights are activated only with the Landing Lights swich (Nav Lights buttons have no effect).

For the lights issues, I supposed it's a problem with the external model right ? And since you edit only the VC, probably you won't be able to fix that. However your VC on another 747 might work properly
I'll try to provide more detailled feedback in the coming days.
